A Manchester man who has been convicted of public indecency five times was arrested Friday after a woman complained that he was masturbating at a local park as she arrived with her grandchildren.

Mark Michaud, 56, of 101 Chestnut St., Apt. A6, faces a charge of disorderly conduct and two counts of risk of injury to a minor, police said.

Officer Richard Boyle was dispatched to the boat launch at Union Pond on North School Street at about 4:30 p.m. A woman who had come to the park with her adult son, 8-year-old granddaughter and 9-year-old grandson told Boyle that as she got out of her car at the gravel parking lot, she saw a man sitting on a park bench masturbating, police said.

The woman said she yelled — “Pervert!” — and the man stopped for a moment, but then continued masturbating as the woman and her family walked away, police said.

Based on the woman’s description, Boyle wrote in his report that he suspected the man was Michaud, who had been arrested in town in April after a waitress complained he was masturbating in a restaurant booth.

Found at his home on Friday, Michaud said he was in the park, but he denied masturbating, Boyle wrote.

He was released without having to post bail and is to appear in Manchester Superior Court on Sept. 27.
